Just got a new computer - MacBookPro, OSX 10.7.2. On my old Mac I ran Parallels 3 with Autocad 2002 flawlessly. But I don't think Parallels 7 will support 2002, and have always wanted to work native.
So, I need software that lets me import .dwg files from consultants. For the most part, I do remodel work, so very small files and drawing sets, and I never do 3d (except in Sketchup, poorly).
I think I can get AutoCadLT for Mac with my educator discount for a few hundred bucks. But I've heard pretty negative comments about it.
Does anyone like TurboCad or Archicad?

also, you're not saving layers or anything like that are you? that seem to be something available in newer adobe products which my company doesn't use. Civil people always screw up cad files for some reason. Furniture people too. Something about their process is just a little off from ours.
PDF Shrink
Now available for Mac OS X 10.7 and Windows 7!
Email me the file or you can email me and I'll set up an ftp account for you on my server. Then I can take a look at it.

Thank you William. Before I bother you with it I am going to try one more thing, actually two as I will download PDF Shrink (thank you for the link!). I read somewhere on the Dassault forums last night, exhausted, that the fonts in the drawing may be the problem. I'm going to change all my text to SHX not True Type, apparently that is a problem…and see what I get.

OK so the font change didn't do anything. William, I have your email from the old days, I will send you this drawing for kicks but DO NOT spend time on it! But fi you can divine and solve my problem I'll send you a bottle of bourbon!
